reiserfs: Fix reiserfs lock and journal lock inversion dependency
When we were using the bkl, we didn't care about dependencies against other locks, but the mutex conversion created new ones, which is why we have reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe(), which unlocks the reiserfs lock before acquiring another mutex. But this trick actually fails if we have acquired the reiserfs lock recursively, as we try to unlock it to acquire the new mutex without inverted dependency, but we eventually only decrease its depth. This happens in the case of a nested inode creation/deletion. Say we have no space left on the device, we create an inode and tak the lock but fail to create its entry, then we release the inode using iput(), which calls reiserfs_delete_inode() that takes the reiserfs lock recursively. The path eventually ends up in journal_begin() where we try to take the journal safely but we fail because of the reiserfs lock recursion: [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 2.6.32-06486-g053fe57 #2 ------------------------------------------------------- vi/23454 is trying to acquire lock: (&journal->j_mutex){+.+...}, at: [<c110dac4>] do_journal_begin_r+0x64/0x2f0 but task is already holding lock: (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c11106a8>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28/0x40 which lock already depends on the new lock. the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is: -> #1 (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}: [<c104f8f3>] validate_chain+0xa23/0xf70 [<c1050325>] __lock_acquire+0x4e5/0xa70 [<c105092a>] lock_acquire+0x7a/0xa0 [<c134c78f>] mutex_lock_nested+0x5f/0x2b0 [<c11106a8>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28/0x40 [<c110dacb>] do_journal_begin_r+0x6b/0x2f0 [<c110ddcf>] journal_begin+0x7f/0x120 [<c10f76c2>] reiserfs_remount+0x212/0x4d0 [<c1093997>] do_remount_sb+0x67/0x140 [<c10a9ca6>] do_mount+0x436/0x6b0 [<c10a9f86>] sys_mount+0x66/0xa0 [<c1002c50>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x36 -> #0 (&journal->j_mutex){+.+...}: [<c104fe38>] validate_chain+0xf68/0xf70 [<c1050325>] __lock_acquire+0x4e5/0xa70 [<c105092a>] lock_acquire+0x7a/0xa0 [<c134c78f>] mutex_lock_nested+0x5f/0x2b0 [<c110dac4>] do_journal_begin_r+0x64/0x2f0 [<c110ddcf>] journal_begin+0x7f/0x120 [<c10ef52f>] reiserfs_delete_inode+0x9f/0x140 [<c10a55fc>] generic_delete_inode+0x9c/0x150 [<c10a56ed>] generic_drop_inode+0x3d/0x60 [<c10a4607>] iput+0x47/0x50 [<c10e915c>] reiserfs_create+0x16c/0x1c0 [<c109a9c1>] vfs_create+0xc1/0x130 [<c109dbec>] do_filp_open+0x81c/0x920 [<c109004f>] do_sys_open+0x4f/0x110 [<c1090179>] sys_open+0x29/0x40 [<c1002c50>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x36 other info that might help us debug this: 2 locks held by vi/23454: #0: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#5){+.+.+.}, at: [<c109d64e>] do_filp_open+0x27e/0x920 #1: (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c11106a8>] reiserfs_write_lock+0x28/0x40 stack backtrace: Pid: 23454, comm: vi Not tainted 2.6.32-06486-g053fe57 #2 Call Trace: [<c134b202>] ? printk+0x18/0x1e [<c104e960>] print_circular_bug+0xc0/0xd0 [<c104fe38>] validate_chain+0xf68/0xf70 [<c104ca9b>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0x10 [<c1050325>] __lock_acquire+0x4e5/0xa70 [<c105092a>] lock_acquire+0x7a/0xa0 [<c110dac4>] ? do_journal_begin_r+0x64/0x2f0 [<c134c78f>] mutex_lock_nested+0x5f/0x2b0 [<c110dac4>] ? do_journal_begin_r+0x64/0x2f0 [<c110dac4>] ? do_journal_begin_r+0x64/0x2f0 [<c110ff80>] ? delete_one_xattr+0x0/0x1c0 [<c110dac4>] do_journal_begin_r+0x64/0x2f0 [<c110ddcf>] journal_begin+0x7f/0x120 [<c11105b5>] ? reiserfs_delete_xattrs+0x15/0x50 [<c10ef52f>] reiserfs_delete_inode+0x9f/0x140 [<c10a55bf>] ? generic_delete_inode+0x5f/0x150 [<c10ef490>] ? reiserfs_delete_inode+0x0/0x140 [<c10a55fc>] generic_delete_inode+0x9c/0x150 [<c10a56ed>] generic_drop_inode+0x3d/0x60 [<c10a4607>] iput+0x47/0x50 [<c10e915c>] reiserfs_create+0x16c/0x1c0 [<c1099a5d>] ? inode_permission+0x7d/0xa0 [<c109a9c1>] vfs_create+0xc1/0x130 [<c10e8ff0>] ? reiserfs_create+0x0/0x1c0 [<c109dbec>] do_filp_open+0x81c/0x920 [<c104ca9b>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0x10 [<c134dc0d>] ? _spin_unlock+0x1d/0x20 [<c10a6eea>] ? alloc_fd+0xba/0xf0 [<c109004f>] do_sys_open+0x4f/0x110 [<c1090179>] sys_open+0x29/0x40 [<c1002c50>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x36 To fix this, use reiserfs_lock_once() from reiserfs_delete_inode() which prevents from adding reiserfs lock recursion.
